If it's not something you'd care to play yourself, it would be totally
irresponsible to put it into the hands of an inexperienced student.
However, you seem to have one advantage over many teachers, who don't
even seem to be able to recognize a decent instrument from a piece of
crap. Perhaps th
I once tested a Bessen student sized F horn for a young student; I
thought it was better than all the other F student horns I tested, mostly
Yamaha. The notes were well centered and intonation was very good. I would

To help me understand performance during Mozart period, the first question
is about this part of the review of the Mozart piano concerto.

Hi all
I have been wondering for quite a while about the Finke mouth pipe valve
idea . At a first glance it seems like a revolutionary idea :the high f horn
does not interfere with the double horn structure , and the chances are
,that the reaction of the instrument would resemble the kind of reacti
The mouthpipe piston valve that Finke uses greatly simplifies the problem
of getting a triple or double descant horn to play in tune. In the Finke
design, the valve is placed as close as possible to the mouthpiece shank to
avoid any node interference on either the F/Bb double side or the f side.

If not - how come other makers did not try it?
Paxman use a (rotary) mouthpipe valve.

Essentially the question boils down to the nature of each instrument - the
piano, then as now was the preeminent concerto instrument beside the violin.
Given the mechanical ability of the piano to play chromatically with no
alteration in timbre, and the horn's inability to do the same without s

I got a Besson for my 11 year old. It is certainly adequate and it can make

on the intro is it ok to lightly tongue the high F on the Bb(second space

Hi Ron,
It should be played exactly as written-plus, all eight players should phrase
identically--
as smoothly as possible with a seamless phrase.
Just keep a very steady air column going and sing !

lines", as you said. The beginning MUST be played as
written, talking about the main motif. Later on, when the
